No, these will be PHP's built-in default values (which are the same as the ones in one of the php.ini-* included in the PHP distribution -- php.ini-dist, I think, but I could be wrong). The trick is to look at the phpinfo() output for Configuration file (php.ini) path -- if it only gives a directory's path (ending in /, without a php.ini filename on the end), than that is the path it is looking in, but there is no php.ini file there so the built-in defaults are being used. If it gives a full pathname ending with an actual filename, that is the file it is reading. Cheers!
